"Para Aragón en España" – Almojábanas aragonesas served on a bed of natilla.

José Martí, a leader in the Cuban movement for independence from Spain nonetheless loved much about Spain and wrote frequently about it in his poems. He was, in a way, a man of 2 lands. And so, it seems fitting to accompany the Cuban dishes with Spanish wines, a nod to the inextricable bond between the two nations.

The meal will be accompanied by Spanish wines, provided by the illustrious Laurence Vuelta, importer for Aveniu Brands. Laurence has over 26 years in the wine and spirits industry and is well versed not only in wine, but also in the stories behind those wines, bringing to life the men and women behind some of our favorite beverages. Laurence is a dear Cuban-American, friend of COPA and an avid admirer of José Martí.

Together, Laurence and Rafel Osuba, the founder of the Don Quixote festival, will be your guides on a poetic journey through 19th century Cuba.

(Wines are an additional $5 per course, which will be charged at the dinner.)
